We came back from our holidays to see our lovely gardens had become a JUNGLE!!! (in the jungle the mighty jungle, the rabbit feasts tonight! if you want to watch Pat and Stanley perform click here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvsQ9hYKq7c) Some plants had been attacked yet again by snails and other furry critters. Our poor Kohlrabi... it looks nothing like the pictures on the internet :-( I'm sure some wascilly wabbit is relishing with a full belly. The weeds were HUGE-ish and we spent an entire lesson weeding. While we were able to harvest twelve bags of salad some plants had gone to seed in our absence (hence, Anri's 'fail' picture below). 
We raised twenty eight dollars by selling our salad while Anri (like UNRE-liable) held a bake sale which raised a further twenty four dollars, and our teacher Miss Collin said she would match what ever we donate. All this money will go towards Kaiapoi High School. They have contacted us and said they will spend the donations on our favourite project...SLIME! Plus they were inspired by our project and may starting their own school gardens!
We've had to work diligently because of our lack of class time... sadly, growing plants isn't the only thing we learn in science :-( Everyone cheers when Miss Collin tells us we're going to the gardens for the lesson. Yipeee! No writing. No messes to clean in lab. No listening to the teacher talk. Just the crisp spring breeze and some muddy hands to contend with up at the gardens...
Pearls crunchy cabbages!
Luxurious lettuce!
Dillons bountiful beans!
Sarahs ravishing radishes
